Juyang Weng

Juyang (John) Weng is a professor of the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at Michigan State
University, a member of the
MSU Cognitive Science Program
and a member of the
MSU Neuroscience Program
.
His research interests lie in the intersection of the general fields of
computer science and engineering,
brain science, and cognitive science.
He and his coworkers study mental architectures;
computational models of autonomous development for vision, audition,
touch, behaviors and motivational systems in biological and engineered
systems; and techniques that enable and facilitate
autonomous development of mental
skills. Engineering applications include pattern recognition, computer vision,
speech recognition, language processing, robotics, sequential decision-making, and
human-computer interactions. He is a co-founder
of the Embodied Intelligence
Laboratory and was a
member of the PRIP
Laboratory.
